Wikipedia:Changing username

This page is no longer active. The community has kept it to save the history of Simple English Wikipedia. Maybe the page is no longer correct, or there is no agreement on what should happen to it. If you think the community should start using this page again, you should ask at a place such as Simple talk.

This page was used by users to ask a bureaucrat to change their username for them until 15th September 2014, when bureaucrats lost their rights to rename users locally. A historic log of those actions can be found here. Requests for renaming accounts globally are now handled on the page Stewards requests/Username changes on Meta-Wiki. Please proceed to that page for requesting a global rename. Alternatively, you may use this special page to request a rename.
